OPERATING INFORMATION
This section describes front-panel control functions, giving first-time and general operating information. lnformation on
operating voltage, instrument conversion, rackmounting, operating temperature, and plug-in installation is also included.
OPERATORCHECKOUTPROCEDURE
Setup lnformation
The following steps demonstrate the use of the controls
and connectors of the 5441.
1. For the following procedure, a 5A-series amplifier
plug-in should be in one of the vertical (left or center) plug-in
compartments and a 5B-series time-base plug-in should be
in the horizontal (right) compartment.
2. See Operating Voltage in this section before proceed-
ing. Set the POWER switch to off (pushed in) and connect
the 5441 to a power source that meets the voltage and
frequency requirements of this instrument.
3. Turn the INTENSITY and READOUT INTENS con-
trols counterclockwise and pull the POWER switch out to
turn the instrument on. Set the front-panel controls as
follows:

4. Advance the INTENSITY control until the trace is at
the desired viewing level. The trace should appear near the
graticule center.
5. Connect a 1 X probe or test lead from the CALIBRA-
TOR loop to the amplifier plug-in input connector.
6. Turn the Main Trig Level control clockwise until a sta-
ble display is obtained. Adjust the vertical and horizontal
Position controls so that the display is centered vertically
and starts at the left edge of the graticule.
7. Adjust the FOCUS control for a sharp, well-defined
display over the entire trace length.
